Community Meeting Regarding New Touhy Park Playground

March 14, 2013

Dear Neighbor,

I invite you to attend a follow-up community meeting to present revised plans for the new Touhy Parkplayground, based the community feedback at the initial planning meeting held last December. Construction is expected to start later this year.

The meeting will take place next Tuesday, March 19th, 7:00 p.m., at the Touhy Park Fieldhouse, 7348 N. Paulina (just south of Jarvis). I will be co-hosting the meeting with the Chicago Park District and the Touhy Park Advisory Council.

The current play ground is pictured on the right. I urge you to attend the meeting to review the revised plans for the playground, which was approved by the voters in last year’s 49th Ward Participatory Budgeting election.
